Albany 2001 Theatre Company

The Albany aims to provide: An artistic and community resource where diversity and creativity flourish. A space where new talent is nurtured and exposed to ideas from across the world. High quality creative experiences relating to the communities we serve.

A creative centre for learning within the community, contributing to the cultural, social and economic benefit of South East London. Based in the heart of Deptford, the Albany is a performing arts centre with a history stretching back to the nineteenth century. Over the last few years, we have emerged as a new type of arts venue, very much driven by the cultural diversity and creative mix of South East London.

Involving people, through participation and partnerships, is central to our work and is essential to the delivery of our vision. During the last year over 100,000 people visited the Albany and used our facilities, including audiences of over 25,000 for more than 200 events. The Albany has four performance spaces, including its unique central performance space, with a capacity of 300 seated and 500 for standing events.

Our programme encompasses a range of music, theatre and spoken word, as well as an array of participatory projects. Our other facilities include a cafe bar, rehearsal and meeting rooms for hire, and office space. The Albany is re-establishing itself as a significant London arts venue, building on our reputation as a home and seeding ground for creative development in the performing arts.

We are a social enterprise, earning over 50% of our own income and we are grateful for the support of the London Borough of Lewisham, Arts Council England.
